Steven Curtis Chapman - Dive

Back to Sermons in Song >>>

     This week “Dive” off of the CD entitled Speechless,  a song about following hard after God and having faith even when you are not sure about everything going on around you takes its place among our Sermons in Song.

     Hebrews 11:6 states, “without faith it is impossible to please Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

     In Romans 4 we find the story of Abraham found also in the book of Genesis which reveals he believed God and God credited it to Him as righteousness. For this reason he is called the father of our faith. Abraham heard God and he took the “step of Faith” not sure of everything but sure of God and His calling on His life. Read Romans 4 and consider if you would have believed God. Then ask God to show you more intimately what it means to believe in Him and to trust Him when it is time for you to take a leap of Faith.

 

"Dive"

Written by: Steven Curtis Chapman

From the Record: Speechless

 

The long-awaited rains have fallen

Hard upon the thirsty ground
Have carved their way

To where the wild

And rushing river can be found
 

And like the rains

I have been carried here

To where the river flows, yeah
My heart is racin'

And my knees are weak

As I walk to the edge
 

I know there is no turning back

Once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice,

It's telling me it's time to
Take the leap of faith
So here I go

I'm diving in, I'm going deep
In over my head I wanna be
Caught in the rush, Lost in the flow
In over my head I wanna go
The river's deep, The river's wild
The river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in
I'm diving in

There is a supernatural power

In this mighty river's flow
It can bring the dead to life,

And it can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing worth livin'

And worth dyin' for, yeah
 

But we will never know the awesome power

Of the grace of God
Until we let ourselves get swept away

Into this holy flood
So if you'll take my hand,

We'll close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on let's go
